On me, "slim" cuts look normal. "Classic" cuts look big. And "loose" cuts look frankenstein... :)kayvaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319503101140365399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-68875764998539469242010-01-21T05:09:23.488-05:002010-01-21T05:09:23.488-05:00I think things are already swinging the other way ...I think things are already swinging the other way - for example, look at the lapels on some of Ralph Lauren's most recent lines.Sinatra's Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007300634606259207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-75545182951566628782010-01-21T02:04:58.812-05:002010-01-21T02:04:58.812-05:00Kudos on the post.

The one inch wide ties are best left to high school students and 80 retro parties.<br /><br />The size of your collar goes with the width of a tie; wide collar = wide tie and so on.<br /><br />Check out the ties at J.Crew, at about 2 3/4 inches wide they are spot on.jcrew guy in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087438754180803097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-166127865175930992010-01-20T17:14:08.443-05:002010-01-20T17:14:08.443-05:00yes sir, i share the same opinion on this. keep i...yes sir, i share the same opinion on this. keep it classic, and keep it simple. clever insight, my man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-10803701430303848792010-01-20T14:01:03.183-05:002010-01-20T14:01:03.183-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377678040217041514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-56013561855630524262010-01-20T14:00:41.073-05:002010-01-20T14:00:41.073-05:00I'm curious about what other "shinny shit...I'm curious about what other "shinny shit" you think needs to go away.<br /><br />For me a big one is skinny jeans on men.
